COVER REVEAL!!! INVALUABLE...BY ALANA ALBERTSON

I’ll be honest with you—I'm no saint. Sure, when I turned down my 3.6 million dollar football contract to join the SEAL Teams, the media had a field day. Selfless, patriotic, an American hero. But the God's honest truth was that I was bored with that world, the playboy lifestyle, the ass kissing, the lack of integrity. There’s even a line in one of our cadences: “When I go to heaven St. Peter he will say ‘Did you earn your living? Did you earn your pay?’ My reply was with a little bit of thunder ‘I earned my living killing down under.’” You've read the tabloids—I'm infallible, invincible, invaluable. But it wasn't that deep—I just wanted some action.

A one night stand with a San Diego coed, no promise for tomorrow. I picked her out of a steamy nightclub—sexy blonde hair, curvy hips, nice ass. After she rode me all night, I took in the ocean view from my condo, thankful for the blissful moments she gave me to get me through my long deployment—I savored the warm touch of a woman, the scent of her perfume and the sound of her laughter.

As fate would have it, I crossed paths with Miss San Diego again, halfway across the world in Afghanistan. Turns out she was a NFL Cheerleader sent on a USO tour to entertain my Team. Her convoy was ambushed, and insurgents held her hostage deep in the mountains. I'd gazed into her beautiful blue eyes and given her my word that she'd be safe. And my word is my bond.

I'll never win MVP, never get the Super Bowl ring, but some heroes don't play games.

I used to be scared of the future, I didn't know where I'd end up, didn't know if the anger and bitterness inside me would ever truly go away, if I could ever feel worthy or find someone who'd be able to see through the asshole I pretended to be to the rest of the world.But I'm not scared anymore, and I did find someone who sees me. Who really, truly see me. And I see her, too. Ella Harper is all I'm ever going to see, because she's my future. She's my steel and my fire and my salvation.She's everything.Yes, I have been absolutely ruined by the Royals. Reed Royal is my everything.

If you haven't read the first two books in this series, Paper Princess and Broken Prince, seriously, one click them or buy them right now! I had to own both the ebook and hard copy because I am obsessed with this series.

My most anticipated book so far this year was Twisted Palace. And like the two books before, it did not disappoint. There are so many twists and turns …

If there's one thing we know about Lance Romero from the beginning of the Pucked Series, is that the ladies love him and Lance Romance loves them right back. Admittedly he has the worst reputation of his teammates and for the most part he owns that reputation and maybe even deserves it a little.
I have to admit now as much as I am all about Alex Waters, Lance Romero has definitely found a place in my heart. I mean the cover model by himself for Pucked Off is a complete fantasy. I don't think I've ever seen a cover model that completely embodies their character until Lance. Then you add Helena's story, which I couldn't put down and you have a book boyfriend that melted my heart with each turn of the page.
Lance's story is much more complicated than the other members of his team. His past is dark and he carries around that darkness inside of him. At first, I thought Tash was definitely the girl for him and I figured Helena would write Lance's story in tha…

I have always been crazy about reading. When I'm in a bad mood, a good book can definitely take me to another place. I've always enjoyed young adult and paranormal books. I have recently become a huge fan of new adult literature and believe or not, I still like to read a good classic when the mood hits me.
As a teacher, I'm forever telling my first graders about how reading is the key to everything they need in life. If I didn't read I'd be lying to 6 year olds. Clearly something I'd rather not do.
Anyway, I wish my own kids loved reading as much as me, but they take after their dad!!
I've also been dabbling in writing....so who knows? Someone might be reviewing my work on Goodreads someday!!
